Songs of the Vienna Art Orchestra
Texte von Mae West, Gertrude Stein, Anna Lauvergnac & Lia Pale
In the first set you will hear nine original songs taken from three exceptional programmes of the Vienna Art Orchestra (1977-2010): Big Band Poesie (2004), American Dreams (2007) and European Visionaries (2007). All songs are composed, arranged and re-arranged by mathias rüegg for this special night: Lia Pale will sing The Smile Of Gold, Insecurity Is The Secret Of Eternal Youth, She Never Regrets That She Had It, La Bibliothèque immaginaire, Brother Sun & Sister Moon and many more . And of course if it’s an evening with songs of the legendary VAO, there will also be support by three of its unique musicians on stage including a brand new Austrian talent! - bringing the songs back to the here and now.
